The Gallery at West Side
We have a very special show in the Gallery for January. James Daugherty, the artist, completed 60 Biblical paintings, of which we have 20, courtesy of the current owners of his work, First Presbyterian Church at Caldwell, NJ. Daugherty died in 1974 after a life as a successful artist, writer, and illustrator of children's books, of which Andy and the Lion is still a favorite. Daugherty's Biblical paintings have been collected in a wonderful book, In His Image, which will be available for order in the Gallery. Special thanks go to Don Hults of Caldwell's First Presbyterian Church for offering this show of Daugherty's works. Be sure to visit the Gallery throughout January, and prepare to be impressed and inspired by the bold drama of this artist's work.
West Side has its own community art gallery, lit with natural light from the skylights above.
